I was made redundant 3 months ago now, I had been with the company nearly 13 years. I am finding life really difficult as I have been the main bread winner and apart from maternity leave always worked. I was on a good wage and good benefits with car. I am finding it really difficult to find another job, I work as a Visual Merchandiser (shop windows, displays product placing that kind of thing) I am with 6 agencies but there is nothing for the money I want or with the flexibility as I was working 4 days a week before.
I have looked on several sights but does any one have any experience or good ideas of part time work or retraining to fit in with School drop offs etc..
any help would be greatfully appreciated, whilst working I seemed to have lots of plans for if I wasn't and now I am free I can't think of any of them! It seems everything I want and need to do requires money, ahhhhh....

calcium, I have recently given up a part-time job in the city to be at home more with my kids. I have started my own business selling, educational books, toys & games through Mini IQ. I started in September last year while I was still working to make sure I could make a go of it, and I left my job in April. I haven't replaced my salary (yet!!!) but am bringing in some money and am confident that my business will grow.I work the hours I want to and fit it in around my kids. If you are interested CAT me and I can give you some more info.

Have you looked for (paid) work in the charity retail sector? I know my Mum worked in Cancer Research UK shops and they used to employ a part-time visual merchandiser. It might not pay a lot, but could fit in with your schedule?

Hi, I was made redundant while I was pregnant last year. I have now got a 6 month old daughter and have been looking for some part-time work with little success. Could you give me more information on this Mini-IQ thing?

Thank you very much.
